This is one of the funniest strips I’ve seen here, and the whole webcomic has never failed to deliver a giggle-inducing punchline. I’ve been staring and laughing at this one for a good five minutes, waaay longer than I usually do for any joke. This is excellence! 😀

I suspect that I’m the handicapped man. I’m pretty deaf. This has some amusing consequences. For example, I was convinced for most of my life that my farts where nearly noiseless. (Getting better hearing aids has convinced me that they aren’t.) Also, one of my flat mates came up with the hard to solve moral dilemma: If you fart around a deaf person, do you have to tell them that you did? Also, I’m not able to pick the direction of noises, everyone who farts loud enough can convince me it was my fart – and I can’t prove him otherwise.

I “hear” ya, Phil. I had some terrible hearing aids that picked up every little sound, but I couldn’t tell if something was coming at me or going away. And, everyone sounded like they had a cold… Now, I walk around and ‘fake hear’ everything (lip read).
